2 Mózes 22:16

Study

       

16 Ha valaki hajadont csábít el, a ki nincs eljegyezve, és vele hál: jegyajándékkal jegyezze azt el magának feleségül.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #9179

Studere hoc loco

9179. 'If he is a hired servant' means if for the sake of beneficial gain. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hired servant' as one who does good for the sake of beneficial gain or for the sake of reward, dealt with in 8002, thus in the abstract sense as beneficial gain or reward.
